qcheck-core

The qcheck-core library

The qcheck-core library exposes two toplevel modules:

• QCheck is the initial property-based-testing module and
• QCheck2 is a newer property-based-testing module supporting integrated shrinking

Of the two, QCheck is the most battle-tested module. QCheck2 on the other hand offers integrated shrinking, thus removing the need for having to hand-write shrinkers.

QCheck tests can be ported to QCheck2 by following the migration guide. Please file an issue if you encounter problems using either of the two modules.

The qcheck-core.runner library

The entry point of the qcheck-core.runner library is the QCheck_base_runner module.

One can run a list of property-based tests by calling either

• QCheck_base_runner.run_tests, which accepts a number of optional arguments, or
• QCheck_base_runner.run_tests_main, which can be controlled via command-line arguments
